Dear Bokan Family, I just this minute found out about Anne's passing. I am saddened that I did not attend the mass that no doubt honored her extraordinary life. It was a pleasure and a privilege to have known Anne. She was a model of grace, spit-&-fire, and family love and she was a role model for me in many ways. She leaves a remarkable living legacy in her family and legacy of generosity at Saratoga Hospital. May her memory be a blessing to each of you. With love and prayers for your peace, Susan Axelrod

Dear Peggy and Family,
Please accept my sympathy for your loss. I fondly remember your Mom. She was a great lady and is now with the Lord.

Dear Bokan Family,
It was with great sadness that we heard of the passing of your dearest Mom, Grandmom, and Great Grandmom. She was one of the loveliest ladies we knew. With her beautiful white hair and her effervescent smile, she was always ready to say hello and warm you with her presence. Truth be told, she always reminded me (Becky) of my own dear Mom, who passed away 2 and 1/2 years ago at the ripe age of 97! But my family lived in MD, so not seeing them as often as I would have liked to, Anne felt like my Mom away from home. I had the pleasure of teaching 5 of her grandchildren at St. Clement's School: Joseph, Jenny, Kristin, Rachel, and Sean. They were her pride and joy and mine as well. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all of the Bokan Family and we are assured that Heaven has just welcomed another beautiful angel into it's realm. May God bless and be with you as you mourn the loss of Anne but relish in the memories she leaves with each of you. Losing a Mom is so painful but in doing so, we gain our best advocate in Heaven. Love and prayers, Rick and Becky Stauffer and Family
